Jason Attacking Tim at Titans Tower

Fanon vs Canon

We've all seen the versions in fanfiction but I'm not so sure everyone's seen the original so if you're one of those batfam fans who doesn't want to read the comics (regardless of reasons) but you are curious about how it actually went this is for you.

What I'm addressing:

What does Jason actually say to Tim during the attack?

Did Jason drug all the other Titans?

Did Jason really wear a Robin costume?

Did Jason slit Tim's throat or call him replacement?

Did Jason actually break Tim's bo staff?

Was Tim crying or scared?

Did Jason write a message on the wall in Tim's blood?

Did Jason's eyes glow green?/Did he follow pit rage mechanics?

Panels and details below. This is a LONG one.

What did Jason actually say to Tim during the attack?

Dialogue in fanfiction during the Titans Tower attack varies based on what kind of fic you're reading but usually its either 'time to clip Replacement's wings' if its staying a beatdown whump 'or oh no precious lil bby why is no one watching you' if its an accidental child acquisition. Not judging either option, but this ain't about them its about the real shit.

Look at these opening lines:

Hey, Tim. I was here first.You're the Red Hood. You've been cleaning up Gotham the easy way. Easy? What do you know about easy, Tim? You had a father that looked after you. You went to a private school, right? You slept in a bed. I slept on the streets, I lived in the alleyways in Gotham. Trying to survive. Until Bruce took me in. I trained as hard as I could. I did whatever he asked. . . at least at first. But it didn't matter. They said I wasn't tough enough to be robin. But today, they say you are. Show me, Tim. Show me what you have that I didn't.

Jason really puts himself out there in all of his dialogue in this encounter, the struggle of having to fight for anything and everything he got in life, even the things that came to everyone else for free, and then being told he wasn't even good enough for the things he fought for.

There's a trope in fanfics that if Jason knew Tim stalked Batman and forced his way into being Robin that it would change how Jason felt about the situation but that's even addressed in this comic:

You were a kid, worried about how Batman was spiraling down into darkness. You spent weeks tracking the dark knight. Solving a mystery no one else could. You discovered who he was behind that mask. Millionaire Bruce Wayne. You were so pleased with yourself, I'm sure that you forgot who you were really dealing with. I know Bruce Wayne. And let me tell you, Tim if someone was trying to find out who Batman really was. If someone was stalking him for weeks. He'd know about it. You can't be that good. I am. He let you find him. And I bet he said the same thing to you as he did to me, didn't he? That you had a talent to make a difference in Gotham. That he needed someone he could trust in war on crime. That you were one of a kind. The light to his darkness. Robin, the Boy Wonder.

Tim saying 'I am' is really such a moment that doesn't come through in text because he is right that he really did do that but I also completely understand why Jason wouldn't believe it.

TBH my favorite part is how done Tim honestly sounds with Jason thoughout all his trauma dumping. Like imagine a grown man who used to work the same part time job as you breaking into your house, dressing up in your work uniform, ranting about how much the job ruined his life while he beats your ass??? God, and he probably had to write a fucking report about it after. RIP Timmy.

What do you want? Do you want to be Robin again? Is that it? You... want to take it away from me? Why in the hell would I ever want that? Don't you get it? When I died no one cared! No one remembered me. Are you completely insane? No one could forget you. I've spent my entire career wearing this mask under your shadow. I had to convince Batman to let me try this. All because he'll never stop blaming himself for what happened to you. You ask me, that's the only reason he hasn't taken you down. He's holding back. But me? No freakin' way. That's the Robin I wanted to see. Still. You do realize the whole idea of training a teenager to fight against something he'll never eradicate is a mistake. It didn't even surprise anyone when I died. When I failed. I failed-- but I'm still beating you. Do you think you're that good now?! Do you really, Tim? Yes.

Tim bashing Jason across the face as he says 'no freakin' way'? *chefs kiss*

Jason drugging the other Titans to knock them out?

Little bit true, Kory was actually just already away from the tower and BB and Cyborg were about to bounce because of the drama going on with Donna's return but Jason like super tazes them and then drugs Raven who he thought already went through enough shit without him knocking her out violently.

Note: Jason says in the text here that he never rolled with Cyborg or BB but like he actually did in some comics so?? The continuity is lie I guess idk.

Did he show up in Red Hood gear or a Robin costume?

Both tbh but he spent most of the time in the Robin costume but bro actually made a stripper rip away version of his Red Hood gear so he could dramatically reveal the Robin costume underneath. I can't believe no one ever includes that in their fics its so fucking funny.

Does he call Tim 'replacement' or slit his throat?

No, this came from a Batman comic with Hush not Teen Titans. That incident takes place in a graveyard not Titans Tower and he calls Tim pretender not replacement.

Does Jason break Tim's staff?

Tragically, no. The bo staff snap would have been iconic. Instead he just takes Tim's staff and beats Tim up with it and breaks stuff. BUT!! He uses it to bust a statue in the TITANS MEMORIAL ROOM which is a place in Titans Tower just for having statues of dead previous titans and Jason is rightfully pissed he didn't get one. Like Tim is correct in saying no one forgot him still but like I would be hurt too if all my friends made cool statues of friends that died and then just left my zombie ass out, like wtf.

Note: I am seriously losing my shit that I have never seen someone bring up the memorial room in a fanfic. That is so much angst material. 😭

Tim crying/ being scared?

Hell no. He's a fucking Robin you know he's being a sassy boy the whole time, even towards the end when he's about done he's still saying he's her and I love Tim for that.

Note: There are a few different times where Tim does a flippy Robin move and then Jason just fucking copies it like flexing that he can do it too, and its just so petty and stupid he's trying so hard to be better than an actual child. 💀I get why in the context of the situation but its still so ridiculous.

Message on the wall in Tim's blood?

TBH I really don't know for sure on this one?? Like its implied that he did but Tim isn't bleeding all that much throughout this beatdown and like we don't see Jason do it just the Titans reacting to seeing it after. It could be Tim's blood, it could be red paint, and it could even be that Jason packed an actual bucket of blood to bring with him to write a message with after he finished. TBH the world is your oyster on this one.

Note: If anyone can find another comic where this event was brought up where they actually clarify it was Tim's blood hmu and I'll update this but I couldn't find any.

Pit rage/ glowing green eyes?

Fanon only at this point in the comics. Jason is seems to be himself and even thinks Tim and his friends are pretty cool at the end, and he's just like reflecting on if he had good friends if he would have turned out better as he leaves.

Five Minutes (Prologue)

[All it took] Masterlist TW- mental illness, neglect

Five minutes.

That was all it took to destroy you.

Five minutes to talk to you, five minutes to look at you, hell, even five minutes to think of you. They didn't even gave you one minute. You are the only one that fought and murder for the fun of it.

You were insane in the head, and you loved it.

You love the darkness, you loved the thrill of experiencing death nearby. Everything insane, that a logical person would fear, you would enjoy. It never occured to you, how abnormal it seems to other people.

You would be described as a neglected era-defining genius with the desire to kill. Yet you remained nothing to them. While Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian, and the girls' intelligence are designed to do abide by the law, yours were designed to reprogram a functional human being into doing inhuman things.

Your 'talents', were too notoriously significant, people were sort of compelled into doing all sorts of crimes such as robbery, corruption of the government facilities, and murder.

With their neglect for you proliferating, so did your talents and the crimes that are associated with them. You'd always get what you want but what you truly want or should I rephrase, 'wanted', was love and care.

You were too discreet to be thought of as a sociopath, but had a sliver of emotion from being a psychopath. You are and always will be years from now, clinically unique.

You tried to gain their attention, but only once. You were desperate but not naive and definitely not too naive to try and beg for attention. It was a gift on how you never cried over spilt milk, and just remained unflinching towards the neglect, jeers, and worse, beatings of your younger brother.

It was a distant dream for a happy and 'picture-perfect' family when you lay on the bed, asleep. Only to wake up in the same nightmare that has brought you to the darkness.

There's a reason why people say, "Once You're In Hell, Only The Devil Can Help You Out."

A/N: This is the second fic I'm starting <3! I'll also try to make a playlist 4 this

[comic-sans-chan]

a fun au komahina idea i keep fiddling with in my mind is hinata realizing he does have a talent, but that talent is something super fucked up like being the Ultimate Talent Neutralizer or some such. so like, his talent is just draining other people's talents. he's literally the nega talent.

so he's technically upgraded to being an ultimate at hope's peak, but he's still reserve course because they can't have him around the other ultimates during class hours or else... their education will be utterly pointless. because he'll just make it impossible for anyone to practice or hone their skills. and hinata is very, like... damn. i've always wanted a talent, but this one fucking sucks. i've spent all these years idolizing talent only to find out i destroy it?? what the hell. fuck off with that.

and when komaeda finds out, at first, he's fully like ''omfg, i knew it, you're actually a demon, you literally destroy talent, you destroy hope!!!" and it's this huge debacle, just the most dramatic hissy fit imaginable, up until it becomes clear that actually... being around hinata makes komaeda's talent fuck off. like, his luck literally can't hurt hinata or him or anyone else in his presence. and this realization just... short-circuits komaeda. fully breaks his brain.

like, everyone else just find it funny and kind of refreshing being around hinata, because they can just be regular with him and chill and not worry so much about being Ultimate, but for komaeda, for obvious reasons, being around hinata is life-changing. world-redefining. and he ends up just more obsessed with hinata than ever.

but also it ends up being hinata's secret superpower, because he can interact with any high-level ultimate in society and negate whatever their talent is, putting them on even footing, and sometimes come out on top in interactions with them concerning their talent. this first comes to light with chiaki, of course, who realizes "Hey!! I'm actually being challenged in a videogame!!! Omg, Hajime, you actually won against me!!! Holy shit, this is the best!!!!" and it's insane. it ends up being an amazing talent, after all.

but even with all these wonderful friends and an insanely useful talent and this beautiful twink drooling over him, hinata is still endlessly grumpy and bitter about being the Ultimate Anti-Talent forever. and it's hilarious. one of my favorite brain worms to consider.

[hazbin-a-helluvamagines]

Heyyy I'm sooo happy that you're back ! I hope you're doing ok now ! Make sure to take good care of yourself.☺️

if it's not too much, can we have some Verosika and fizzarolli headcanons with a lil sister reader (platonic obviously)

"Little Sis" ; Fizzarolli, Verosika Mayday

Look. You're probably the only one he actually kept around after the whole incident with the circus and following him into his employment with Mammon.

You get to see him at his absolute worst, when he's struggling with Mammon, the abuse, the exploitation, you get a front-row seat to every breakdown and panic attack.

And he had the desire to keep you out of that life. Forever. So he'd never let you attend any performances or shows where Mammon was present.

You could see him at Ozzie's, see all the cool songs and tricks he could do, but other than that? He didn't want to risk Mammon scouting you as potential talent. He thinks he'd go insane if something ever happened to put you in the position he's in.

"But Fizz, why can't I ever see you at the Clown Pageant?"

"Y/N, it's... It's not a nice place. If it were, I'd let you, but... please. For me, don't argue with me. I don't... want you seeing what I do there."

Of course, reluctantly, you agree. If it's that important to him, he must be being truthful that there are things you'd just rather not see there.

But after Fizz quits? He shows you all the videos online of Ozzie protecting him. :)

Speaking of!! You get to meet and chill with Ozzie! A total gentleman towards both you and your big brother, and you can see the way Fizzarolli's face flushes whenever Ozzie holds his hand or makes a sweet compliment.

Honestly, Asmodeus is one of the few people who's been able to make your brother smile and laugh throughout the duration of his absolute misery.

And of course, it's important for Asmodeus to meet his future sister-in-law!

You've spent your entire life making him happy. And now that he's free, he can finally return the favor. :))

Verosika's sibling? I doubt you're not part of her posse, and therefore, famous alongside her and her clique. Both in Hell and on Earth.

She calls you "sis", "bro", or "sib", depending on what pronouns you use.

"Hey, sib! Coco and Apple and I are going shopping, wanna come? Last one in the car's a fucking virgin."

She's a pretty irresponsible big sister, honestly. She'll swear, make innuendos, and take you places you probably shouldn't be. But the second someone actually tries some shit on you, it's over. Those heels of hers are rather painful when embedded in someone's dick, after all.

You were with her through her breakup with Blitzø, and you, like Fizz's sibling, also got to see her at her worst. Baggy hoodies, runny mascara, ice cream, filthy hair, depression... The works. She never meant for you to see her like that. It was jarring, and she knows it, to see someone so confident and sweet become so broken and petty.

But on the plus side, she ended up giving you a ton of things because she wanted to try and salvage all the relationships she already had, with you, with her posse, hell, probably even with your guys' parents.

She's also super protective of you. As a succubus in Hell, she knows better than almost anyone else how touchy and unwelcomely handsy others can be with your kind. So she always makes sure to have some pepper spray on her, at the very least, plus teaching you the whole 'keys between the fingers' trick.

"Okay, so you stick each of these keys between your fingers... Yeah, like that! And then you punch 'im in the dick. And if it's a lady? Ditch the keys, purple nurple her."

It's honestly a bit eerie how well-versed she is, but hey, it's Hell, a girl's gotta protect herself somehow. And she'll be damned if her little sibling can't do it, either.

You have your spats, but deep down, the both of you love each other. Nothing could change that.

I hope you enjoy never sleeping, though, because damn, her karaoke nights last forever- At least she can sing, I guess-

What if Dilf!Art was put into the ballet instructor au?? Like After the tennis match that Art and Patrick had, that hugged confirmed a friendship again. Of course Art and Patrick retired, tired of the pressure tennis put on them, the pressure of being with Tashi. So Art and Patrick remained close friends, living close to each other, having their daughters be friends. When Patrick put Eleanor into ballet classes Art thought it would be good for Lily to something different than her dad and mom did. So both of the girls had ballet classes, being in the class, being taught by the same lovely ballet teacher. Now Patrick was the one who absolutely fell in love with her first, if we’re doing timelines. He talked about her to Art, and he really didn’t think anything of it, because he didn’t pay much attention, not when he would go picking up his happy daughter with her arms interlocked with Eleanor’s as they skipped towards him and Patrick. But when the ballet teacher spoke softly to Art about Lily’s improvements in ballet he immediately understood Patrick’s obsession. She was so soft and caring, so youthful, it was something Art definitely needed throughout his life. Art thought the same things Patrick did, that she was the one who could probably take away all of his problems, all of those days he’d eat such bland food for his tennis diet, pushing himself so he could make Tashi proud, doing anything for Tashi but nothing was ever enough, she wanted good tennis and he wanted love. (IM SORRY, I WANT BOTH MEN)

Okay so this is actually fucking insane 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

You don't even notice their growing affection towards you, especially Art's. You've known Patrick for quite a while and so you're used to him being, how to say it... friendly. Really fucking friendly. Subtly touching you, complimenting the way you treat his darling daughter and make sure she gets to develop her talent.

And poor Art is feeling completely distressed, as if he wasn't capable of even half of whatever Patrick can do. He tries to joke with you and you respond equally as softly, even giggling at some of his silly jokes. He thinks you're an angel, but he's also afraid you like Patrick more. At least you don't make any decisions considering the kids, because you've been treating his Lily as if she was here since the beginning.

Art brings the topic of you once, when the boys are alone, which is the first time that it happens (as Patrick was usually the one to rant about you).

"She's really pretty."

"Who?" Patrick asks without looking up from his phone, probably thinking he's talking about some random celebrity.

"Lily and El's ballet teacher," Art mumbles.

Patrick teases the living hell out of Art that evening. And he makes sure to pay attention to his blonde friend's behaviour the next time they go to pick their girls up from practice. A pleasant discovery is made when Art stutters as he attempts to respond to something your say and his cheeks heat up like two full strawberries. Yeah, he makes fun of it.

But it also gets poor Patrick worried, considering everything that has happened over the last fifteen years... When Art got chosen by Tashi and favored by the whole tennis industry. The cutest one of the two. And considering your own softness and the ethereal aura of your being, he's thinking you might choose Art over him.

Without knowing or ever discussing it, the two friends become jealous of once another, or rather afraid, both of them finding themselves so deeply attached to you. Two confident men who used to be so smug and full of themselves are reduced to worried babies that can't help but feel neglected.

Luckily, their smart girls pick up on their dads' distress. Unaware of the reason, they play detectives and they dump their suspicionw on you. When you're talking with Art and Patrick the next time while the girls are changing in the locker rooms, you bring that topic up.

"The girls told me that you two have been having some issues. They said that you look worried. Is something going on?"

You speak to them like you're an angel sent from the heavens above, they really both want to drop to their knees and cry until you decide to be merciful enough and take them into your arms. The little frown of worry on your face and the crease between your brows are enough to send both of their hearts beating faster.

"Worried?" Patrick asks with a casual chuckle, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "Do we look worried Art?"

You asshole, Art thinks, shooting his friend a glance. "I- I don't think so. Perhaps we're just getting older. A mid-life crisis, you know."

A giggle from your mouth gets them both to tremble on their feet.

"Okay, okay, I won't pry," you assure them with a nod and that beautiful smile of yours, "But if you feel like talking to someone, don't be afraid to reach out."

You pat both of their shoulders delicately, Art just ends up glancing at you with an open mouth as you move while Patrick has to physically prevent himself from grabbing you and stopping you from walking away.

Later in the evening, when their girls are asleep, they discuss your existence over the phone. Luckily, still on the best friend wavelength, they both come up with the same ideas. Somehow getting you close to them, closer than a normal ballet teacher should be to her students' parents, especially a father. Especially two fathers.

[mango-yoyo]

Okay so I don't know if you're up to it or if you've done this ship. But I'm curious to have your opinion on it. So for the ask ship game :

Max/Lewis (4434) does it make sense and does it compel you?

first of all: thank you for the ask!

second of all: i have a LOT of feelings about this ship, especially as a fan of both of them.

historically, lewis and max have not gotten along well, admittedly more so on lewis' side than max's. max came in as boy wonder in 2015, just in time to watch the dissolution of lewis' and nico's relationship. he was promoted to red bull as genuine, emerging star in 2016 while lewis was fighting for his life against his everything best friend, nico.

and he was good.

and lewis knew he was good.

there was no way in hell, after the shitshow that was 2016, that lewis was going to let it stand. i will freely admit to being a huge lh44 fan, but the dude refused to call max by his name for YEARS and called 'this guy' in front of fans. greatness recognizes greatness, and lewis took one look at max and had war flashbacks. but max's response to it is even more insane, if you ask me. you have lewis and nico and seb going full ham on max for a little friendly bullying, but max just takes it. he comes back for more.

also, the trope itself has so much potential. younger talented boy takes what he could've had, a new champion dethroning the old one, winning through one of the most controversial determining races in F1 history. 2021 alone is enough to write a dissertation about the complexities of their relationship, and they are actually so weird about each other.

but then the shift happened! lewis acknowledged max as one of the greats. not directly, perhaps, but it was enough. that shift from threat to still a threat but now there's mutual respect and even (dare i say it?) affection there. and the rivalry is still just as strong, but then we see the friendly interactions and camaraderie. i would hesitate to call them friends, maybe, but what would you call the bond between two stupidly powerful, batshit crazy titans but a form of love?

okay now i'm rambling, but they are just so neat. would i call them the best otp to ever otp? nope. but would i willingly read pairings of them? hell yeah.

final verdict: makes sense, compels me

ask game

[keepthedelta]

ironic if that was/is true. both of them were jealous of things that the other didn't choose. nico did not choose to be born in a wealthy environment, his life set, and now part of a succesful lineage of world champions in f1, and lewis did not choose to have that generational talent in racing. that's why i think they would never be friends again, civil at most. sometime i wish nico give up of trying to sweet talk to lewis, but like lewis said a long time ago "he (nico) is emotional". you know about that lewis' friend called sppenzy or speaz, or somth that talked about nico on twt back in april? lewis likes his "yes friends"

jealousy isn't really a rational emotion though, is it? it's often understandable, especially when you look at this specific example, but it's not rational. lewis didn't choose to have his talent, though if he were given the choice of having it or not having it he would undoubtedly say yes, and likewise if nico were given the choice to have grown up in the lap of luxury in monaco or not, he would also probably say yes.

if you were a poor kid who was already othered for being mixed race and your dad worked multiple jobs just to give you half a chance at working twice as hard as anyone else in the hopes of a tiny opportunity why wouldn't you be jealous of a little rich boy who grew up with a karting track in the back garden of his holiday home, whose father could get him a future with one phone call? to me that seems like the most natural response you could possibly have.

equally, if you're a genuinely talented driver who has been dismissed because you're also nepo baby, trapped in contract hell by a team that is then borderline abusive, psychologically tortured by an insane german who gets more respect at the team even though you are beating him year after year, all in the wastelands of the midfield, and you finally finally get a good car only to have your new teammate be one of the most talented drivers ever to live, you would be jealous.

as for the last bit, well, i personally have no respect for spinz (i think that's what he's called), and i wouldn't want a friend like that but i'm not lewis so 🤷🏿‍♀️. i will say about nico though, i don't think he's hoping for a reconciliation or friendship with lewis, not anymore at least. i think he's done a lot of work on himself, and finding things that he enjoys and feels passionate about in the last few years particularly. he has his own racing team, he has a venture capitalist firm, he has a philanthropic foundation, he has a festival focused on green energy and has worked with multiple governments to set up infrastructure for electric vehicles. he has a family that he loves, work projects that he's clearly passionate about, and seems entirely fulfilled through those spheres. so when he talks about how great of a racer lewis is, it's not because he's hoping lewis will see it and fall into his arms again, it's because he loves racing, and lewis is really good at it. listen to nico commentate a 2023 max verstappen pole lap. he would have you believing that it is a work of art. to him, beautiful racing, beautiful driving, is poetry. and if lewis is the one delivering that, he'll say it, no hopes attached

[spottheantisemitism]

"what if the X-men were black?" is a racist, antisemitic and anti-intersectional screed that 2013 tumblr fell in love with

Published in 2013 this made rounds of OG tumblr and made Bobby of Pencilscratchins draw all her Jewish X-men characters as brown.

Erik because he has Romani heritage (which is realistic and based and accurate to some comics).

Anon go kick rocks with your colorism! YOU read holocaust testimonies!

Also fun fact Nazi Germany did not understand black and brown the way Americans do so it was based on ethnicity and not color, a brown Jew and a pale white passing Jew were seen as one and the same to the Nazis

Guess which article she linked

It's this one!

But said Kitty was Latine because "the quintessential X-girl of the 70s shouldn't be white"

Kitty already is a queer woman of color because she's Jewish. Jews are POC. Bobby what the hell? Are you implying she's only coded non-white because she's Jewish or Mutant? what the hell?!

(BTW Bobby left Tumblr around Covid but if you send her hate asks because of this essay you'll end up on spot-the-antisemitism blocklist for harrasment)

Where did she get this "Jews are white and should be race lifted?" stuff? Why from Orion!

Top paragraph is fine!

antisemitism is written the gentile way that supports a racist eugenicist, off to a bad start.

Sexism is not covered? OH explain Storm's arcs of misogynoir or Jean's and Maddy's arc of going insane because she has the power of a god but is forced to be housewife and marry her sweetheart and have kids

Ableism is not explored? I'm sorry what about XAVIER'S ENTIRE ARC OF ABLIEST SELF HATRED AND OVERCOMING IT IN THE PREQUELS? The first class all being rich talented codedly disabled kids going to a prep school for the gifted. Disabled people really liking non human passing characters like Nightcrawler (and hating Xavier since he's too assimilationist to many). I'm sorry why do people fall for such blatant lies? the mentor of the X-men is literally canonically disabled and Orion has the GALL to claim ableism is not explored.

_ Genosha is half fall of south Africa Apartheid and half the establishment of the state of Israel hence why the metaphor is so messy and problematic

_ Yes that number is deliberately "like the holocaust but worse" because Morrison likes their holocaust appopriation

_ Why didn't you mention it's an allegory for Gay conversion therapy torture because Bryan Singer is gay?

_ Yes Legacy Virus is Mutant Aids good job on your media literacy finally kicking in Orion

It's racism AND antisemitism but your "antisemtism doesn't exist in america" ass doesn't get that

I do hate "mutie" as slur and the way Kitty thinks it's comparable to antisemtic and anti-black slurs and USES them to make a point, so yeah something Orion and I agree on.

The sequence used is of Stevie Hunter the human ally character who like Xavier started teaching after she became disabled. She IS used as prop here to say Kitty is right in calling her the n-word (Claremont is racist sometimes).

But Orion can't tell her apart from Storm. Buddy if you can't tell the ONLY two black women in this comic apart, you're the racist.

OK they're both props but it proves you never actually read the comics or you can't tell fictional black women apart neither of which is a good look

(Cole also points out the Kitty and Magneto are not White but Jewish he is dogpiled and called a fake fan for this (see below))

Keep Shyminksy out of your mouth you racist fake fan

OH NO! I hate this!

So you decided to go with the colorist idea that the man is darker and the innocent girl in need of protecting is lighter. Gross colorism worthy of a Hollywood action movie where the black guy dies

"Local black man can't related to white disabled teens facing ableism and makes it about racism so he can relate to it" is giving gamergate chud energy to me

If you can't see why a Russian man is almost killed by a mob of xenophobic red blooded Americans and HAVE to make this about anti-black racism that's on you and your misunderstanding of the way Russians were hated during the cold war.

Oh you are race swapping x-men while shitting on Psylocke who the result of basically the same idea? How hypocritical

Dwayne McDuffe does have a point but your quote does not utilize his point in any way.

Then DON'T raceswap Wolverine if he becomes the angry black man. Think before you can X-men racism and tokenism WORSE with your race-swapping

NO THEY DON'T strawman rejected

Ah yes! Magneto, famously a very white man whose childhood was full of white privilege/ Sarcasm

One of the co-authors of the website has the gall to double down on calling Magneto white:

"as a REAL fan you're fake fan, antisemitism doesn't exist and Holocaust survivor Jews are white" - this racist defending his token black friend's racist screed because some guy called Cole DARED call Orion on his bullshit

*"I didn't like that the X-men were about white passing and invislbe disability so I made about anti black racism" also "judiasm is just a religion" canard

**Again leave Shyminksy and Morrison's good takes alone

***Yeah you get Luke Cage, that's how you get the racism of bad Luke Cage comics. You ain't inventing the racist wheel here

Orion I hate your take, I hate your misunderstanding of antisemitism and ableism that makes the two main factions tick, I hate your self centerness, I hate your racist and antisemitic co-writer making excuses for you and I REALLY hate that this did to the 2013 X-fandom what Lily Orchard did to the 2019 Steven Universe fandom and we can still see people using your bullshit arguments today

~~~

Fuck. To say you were nervous right now would be an understatement. How you found yourself a spot on the VMA's Awards show you didn't even know. All the big league's were here, like hell you'd just seen TAYLOR SWIFT a moment ago. That's what set off this panic attack; made you realize how real all this was.

It didn't take long for your girlfriends to find you, Chappell and Reneé had started looking for you when you didn't meet up with them. Chappell was preforming pretty soon, so she was already all decked out in her knight suit. You'd spotted her pretty easily even with your blurry vision because of it. She was hard to miss.

"Fuck, there you are-" Chappell paused mid sentence when she saw you, the way your chest heaved.. she knew. She shared a glance with Reneé who had also caught on pretty quickly.

"Deep breaths, baby. You can do it." Reneé's hand rested on your heart, feeling the intensity through your chest as she breathed with you.

When you were calm, her shoulders relaxed just slightly." There you are. That's it."

Chappell came over to your other side and gave you a comforting kiss, one that you just melted against. Having pressed yourself against her, finding her cold armour to be relaxing." Better?" She asked, you gave her a gentle nod.

"Yeah. I think so." You breathed, Reneé's eyes almost studied you. Trying to see if you were lying or if you were about to go into another panic attack." I'm just so fucking scared."

"And you should be, it's a big fucking deal-" Chappell had started saying, only to be cut off by a startled Reneé.

"Babe, that's not-" She was about to say how that wouldn't help you right now, because it really wasn't.

"Just give me a minute, I'm getting there." Chappell turned her attention to you." This is a big fucking deal, Y/N. Because you made it here. You went from being some small ass punk rock musician to a fucking star. That's impressive as shit, babe. So take that award tonight, because you know damn well you deserve it. When you go out there I want to see you moving that ass and giving it your all, alright? You're going to kill it." Chappell smirked at you, at first everything she said hadn't helped at all. But the more she talked about your success it reminded you of how you got here. You were damn talented. You were insanely fucking talented. And you were going to kill it.

"Thanks, Chappell. I'm sure there's some joke in here about you being my knight in shining armour or something, huh?" You smirked back, taking a once over of her in her fit.

She rolled her eyes and laughed," oh shut up. I'll see you soon, okay?" She gave you another kiss then headed for the stage.

Reneé stayed back with you as the two of you just watched her performance in complete aw. She had kept all the details secret from both of you, you were glad she did because woah. You and Reneé shared a glance, both thinking of ideas for tonight..

[miupow]

you had me at "skz" and "vampires" (sorry its kinda a mess of thoughts hehe)

so, thoughts on vampire prince/king skz (i immediately thought of hyunjin, jeongin, or lix but who ever else comes to mind for you :3) who has a new human staff member that is supposed to be by his side and be his personal maid but she's also supposed to get used as his guard's blood bag so they never have to leave his side. buuut he gets super attached to her within the first week and keeps her all to himself 😼

idk what you would want to write about this but ill add on sappy/cute thoughts as well as some raunchy shit. also the red is toxic stuff

so on the lover agenda some of my thoughts are:

definitely courts her with little trinkets or gifts that he googles researches that humans historically have liked. usually any particularly shiny jewelry he can get his hands on

definitely has his right-hand-man order the highest quality ingredients and has a very talented chef cook normal (high end) food for your meals. (i also thought if he was being a tsundere about it he would sooo tell them to make the food look bad while still keeping its flavor 😭)

when you both get closer he is definitely a spoiled brat about it and will absolutely hate being told "no" by you for any reason, but you also know all too well that he won't do anything about it because he's really bad at hiding his feelings so you know he likes you

when you guys start dating he'll do everything in his power to get you to agree to be converted into a vampire, cause he'll be damned if you're gonna die while he loves you but he feels a slight sense of morals when it comes to you, so he would rather not force it (but will if theres a life or death situation)

lowkey toxic thought but uses "vampire powers" on you, but will wipe the memory from your head depending on what it was for *cough* straight up mind controlling you to win an argument *cough* hypnotizing you to stop talking if he's angry *cough*

and on the horny agenda:

fucks you literally everywhere and anywhere he wants. hes royalty so hes spoiled rotten and always gets what he wants. plus, who will have the balls to tell the prince/king that he can't have sex in the middle of the dining room? not you and sure as hell not the poor kitchen staff when they're trying to set the table around you both

i can see them preferring to make love to you most nights, but wont hesitate to fuck your brains out if he's particularly horny or angry/jealous

def uses those "vampire powers" in bed too. hypnotizes you to obey him (may or may not be with your immediate consent dont @ me) or uses his inhumane strength to force you into a position and uses it to hold you up as he fucks you (literally no matter how much you weigh because he can and he will)

also the speed power most likely means he can fuck you insanely fast and/or finger you just as fast if not even faster (& basically vibrates if he rubs your clit fast enough lmfao)

yeah.. anyways i love vampires and i love skz so u might have just awoken something in me

THIS IS FUCKING INSANE

[adamnablelittledevil]

Reacting to The Vampire Lestat - Part IV (with a bit of spoilers)

Lestat's narration has gotten so much better actually. I mean, I still don't care when he talks about stuff that doesn't have an effect on him, but when he describes things/people that actually do? It's great. It's just so vivid, rich, colorful, sometimes even abstract that simply makes me giggle and kick my feet. When he gets really thoughtful about life, vampirism, existence, religion, morality, feelings, theater, music etc, it feels like borderline insanity, but in a brilliant way? Feels like I'm tasting some crazy drug and tripping, but it's so good? It activates a very specific part of my neurodivergent brain and I love it because I'll also be having those crazy thoughts all by myself with nobody to talk to and Lestat just gets it.

I also love the excess of exclamations on this POV haha.

Sometimes it just feels like a naive child telling things and is kind of endearing.

ARMAND!

Armand in Lestat's words: he was beautiful, ethereal, sublime, exquisite, delicate, soft, perfect, a Caravaggio painting, a Da Vinci painting, an angel, I found myself in him, the possibility of him, I didn't pay attention to [whatever] because I was looking at him etc etc.

Basically calling him the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, really.

Like, I legit MEMORIZED some of them. Lestat was THAT repetitive lmao.

I don't know if it's because the words were so superlative or because Lestat had it that bad or because I have it that bad just thinking about it, but yeah.

I'm not even kidding when I say I need to take pauses because this is kind of unsettling.

I'm so serious, but I feel like reading Lestat's description of Armand has a bigger effect on me than the prettiest person I have ever seen in freaking R E A L L I F E? What the hell, WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?

Lestat, tone it down, I'm begging you.

Been told Armand is really that gorgeous and every character talks about him that way, so apparently he isn't exaggerating... I'm gonna lie down, bye.

It's even worse because I just picture show!Armand because he's even more handsome there so it makes me dizzy.

Also because Lestat won't miss an opportunity to talk about his beauty? He LITERALLY says it EVERY SINGLE TIME he sees Armand. I'm not joking, I swear on my own life. I'm like, OKAY, WE GET IT? ENOUGH!

Armand (Lestat's version) on season 3 will be insufferable and I'm so ready for it. But also not ready yk.

At this point I'm basically just drooling over him and I don't care.

PERFECT casting with Assad. He incorporates Armand like no other. Everyone on the show is talented and I can see them as their characters, but there's one thing or another that I imagine differently sometimes? But not Armand, like, my Armand looks, walks, moves, talks, stares etc the exact same way Assad does it on the show. Every single time. The others are like, 90% or something for me, but Assad is 100% my imagination? It's like he traveled in time, stole my 2024 thoughts, went back to the past, auditioned, got the part and then played it exactly the way I see it today. It's crazy.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, they already have all these possessions going on, what's more to our little satanic show lmao.

Also, great casting with Assad because no man with red-ish hair has looked this good ever. It just doesn't make sense, I'm sorry.

Armand is a beauty God, but also a really good character and I love his lines. Even when I don't agree with him, I just find him fascinating, the role he has on the story, what he represents, the way he moves the plot, whatever the effect he has on Lestat etc...

Armand's moments are never boring. He'll probably piss me off later, but right now I'm having a great time and the book has never been better.

Lesmand's/Armandstat's moments are always heated. The tension is always there. I'm not telling you what kind. Actually, I don't even know it myself. Do THEY even know?

Sam said something about how you're never sure what they are and I think he's right? At least for now. Let's see it after all the books.

They also act like they've known each other forever, have this crazy history that goes through centuries and they already can push each other's buttons... But they actually, like, only know each other for 5 minutes? CHILL?!

They're sort of soul ties/mirrors/foils/two sides of the same coin-coded in an appealing way.

I guess I can say Armand is my favorite character right now. I always read it faster when he's there, I'm always looking forward to seeing him again, I'm fine when I don't see Gabrielle or Nicki, but I'm always like, BRING HIM BACK. I don't know if I should be worried I'll grow into hating him when stuff happens or if I'll just be an Armand apologist lol. I'm scared. But let's wait to see it.

Samssad on season 3 will be delicious. Specially on the 1700s flashbacks. I'm expecting almost, if not EVERY scene of them there to be INTENSE. Great acting potential there.

I really want to see a moment with Armand and Lestat in a church like on the book? Let's take their angelic faces and curls to the next level. Put them in a church, surrounded by religious figures, stained glasses, candles etc. I don't even care what the context will be. They can be talking, silent, killing each other, doing something else, doing all of it, but give me the heavenly visuals. Actually, if they want to film the entire show in a church they can, it would be so aesthetically pleasing. Bonus points if they use Gothic churches because I'm extremely obsessed with them. Bonus points if they use Sainte-Chapelle because I'm kind of even more hyperfixated on that. I mean, it would never happen, but it should *shrugs*.

Btw, the mess Armand made in the house and the way he was reading the books is very neurodivergent of him.

The way he prefers to talk telepathically instead of speaking out loud is very neurodivergent of him as well.

Nicki is soooooooooo doomed by the narrative, omg. Anne didn't even try to hide it.

I'm not really sure how I feel about Nicki except that he needs therapy...

This is probably the silliest comment so far, I'm no longer thinking clearly after Armand's introduction. Sorry, guys. It will happen again.

The next chapter has his name so I'm scared, but also excited.

P.S. Nothing is permanent, opinions might change and this is based on Lestat’s narration, which can be unreliable. I’m reading the books so I can find out more about the characters, what potential events might happen in the show, what I can expect etc. This is my favorite show in the universe, so I want to be as informed as possible. I have no idea if I’ll become a legit fan of the books or not, but so far I’m enjoying it. I’m posting these comments only for fun.

[hellishjoel]

not reader being many months into this situation with frankie and realizing “wow he’s… objectively sexy af” ahahaha she’s soooooo relatable when she’s deep in self-preservation mode but finally lets her walls down and gives herself permission to enjoy what she has with less worry and fear 🥹😂 p.s. your feline sons are angels! LEO SUPREMACY! CAMPAIGN FOR MORE LEO IN TFT! i am very excited for the next chapter. i have a theory people in the PP fandom are missing out on some of the best writing by not giving frankie a chance as much as joel stuff. truly this is not to say TFT and the many other frankie stories do not get plenty of love or anything, but on the whole the character isn’t as popular as joel because of the source material but it is a shame! TFT is point blank my favorite series in all of the PP universe and it could easily exist on television or be a published book and be massively popular in a mainstream way and i really do think that so it’s insane to me i found it for free on tumblr. feel this way about so much of your writing, you’ve got a knack for storytelling and you’re funny af! hope that doesn’t sound weird!

you know what - hell yeah (this is super long so I'm going to add a cut!)

have you ever been in a situationship where it starts more private, and you're like "yeah, they're hot to me" BUT THEN when things move out of situationship territory and it's public, the fact they're not just hot to you is now a thing!

I'm explaining it terribly, but seeing other people linger their glances on your person is lowkey an ego boost (like hell yes I got this hot ass man!! or woman!! or person, whoever you're attracted to!!)

also - I love that you love my boys, thank you!! they're stinkers, as many orange cats are, but I love them to bits. I hope they make many more appearances in my fics because I can't help but sprinkle in some of my personal life lol

@berryispunk and I were just talking about how Frankie is a little "underappreciated" (underappreciated just as in less popular compared to joel miller for example) in the fandom! he had so little screen time, but many talented writers on here have built incredible background to him! I only hope I can provide people some joy about Frankie because he really is a lover boy in my eyes

lastly, thank you so much for taking the time to dote on Table for Two. my entire goal was for it to originally feel a little sit-com-esque and I'm glad it's translated as such (maybe not so much in the chapters as of late, but it's fine, it's fine) I love you for all your support. Messages like this make me love being part of this community and writing because someone out there finds joy in it.

new chapter out super soon, I promise!! @devineconjuring has worked so hard to help me by being a beta beyond excellence and I love the shit out of her.

xoxo nonnie, imma kiss you on the mouth if I find you

hate to be lame - satoru gojo x !artist/influencer reader

satoru gojo is one of the most well known faces in sports.  incredibly talented and fierce on the ice, known to be extremely friendly and outgoing off it, and most importantly (if you asked him), so insanely hot - gojo has it all.  well, except for maybe the one thing he really, truly wants: you.  not that he’d ever admit to himself, let alone you or anyone else.  the two of you have been best friends ever since you were in middle school, and though the jokes about the two of you ending up together have been made for years you both have always just rolled your eyes and laughed it off. unbeknownst to either of you, the pair of you have spent years pining after the other on and off.  it started in high school, when gojo had finally worked up the courage to tell you about his feelings for you only for you to introduce him to your new boyfriend before he could say anything.  a few years (and a few relationships) later, you realize the feelings you have for your best friend go beyond platonic and you plan on telling him, sure he feels the same way.  too bad when you showed up at his place, you accidentally walked in on him and another woman naked on his couch.  over and over again the cycle continues, the timing has never been right for the two of you and you’re both starting to wonder if maybe it’s just not meant to be.  it’ll be easy to get over the feelings you’ve developed over the years, the right?

i once was poison ivy but now i'm your daisy - kento nanami x !popstar reader

he was supposed to be a rebound. you were supposed to be a distraction. after ending your year long engagement and breaking up with your fiance after you caught him cheating on you with one of your bridesmaid's, you swear off relationships and feelings. you're intent on living your best single girl life - but you don't like being alone. you like having someone to fall asleep next to, you like going on dates, you like showering someone with all your attention. kento nanami also just had his heart broken, his longtime girlfriend ending things because he was ready for marriage and she just... wasn't. the two of you go out together one night for drinks. well, it was supposed to be the two of you and your younger brother takuma ino but he ended up bailing at the last minute. but you and kento were friendly enough already and both in need of a distraction. drinks turn into a late night conversation which leads to you back at his place, both of you falling asleep tangled up together on his couch while your favorite reality tv show played. before you know it, you two are spending a lot more time together, behind everyone's backs. it's just for comfort, you both say, distraction from your previous heartaches and that's it. can you really keep doing this without anyone knowing? and without catching feelings for each other?

my heart skips eight beats at once - choso kamo x !indie music darling reader (this story will contain mentions of addiction)

you and choso have known each other for what feels like forever. in fact, you two are actually quite close. or at least, you were quite close. a year and a half ago you stopped responding to his texts as much, declined to hang out with him more and more, gave him a friendly smile whenever you saw him and maybe a quick "hello" before moving your attention to someone else. he has no idea what the hell happened, and when he asks you insist nothing happened. you're not mad at him, you're not upset with him, he didn't do anything wrong. he doesn't believe you, but what choice does he have but to drop it? he's not the type to stick where he's unwanted. for a few years now, you have been putting out music on your own. you've built up a little niche following, one that grows a lot more when you and toge inumaki start up your own musical duo. it was a steady, manageable rise of fame until you two put out your latest single and it blows tf up. now everyone knows who you are, and your manager isn't going to waste this momentum. on the flip side, choso's agent is well aware that his client is in need of a pr makeover. it's been a year since he went to rehab, and though he's been doing well and staying sober, his image is still a little... tainted. and that's what leads to you and choso being treated to dinner by his agent and your manager. they wine and dine you before revealing their ultimate plan: the two of you, in a pr relationship. you're both eventually convinced, deciding you can stick to this for a few months and then dip out once the both of you have gotten what you've needed from the pr. what could possibly go wrong?

nothing ever stops you leaving - sukuna ryomen x !former disney kid turned a list actress (this story will contain pregnancy)

harsh and rough around the edges, sukuna ryomen has never particularly cared what people think about him. growing up, his focus was hockey and looking out for his younger brothers - not much has really changed. known for a sharp tongue that's quick to insult without remorse, he's also known to be quite the womanizer. at least, he was. he was sharped tongue and mean, he was a serial dater who never had a relationship more serious than a casual fling. until he met you. you who was quick witted and didn't hesitate to hit him back with a barb of your own. you who wasn't interested in sleeping with him because sure he was hot but so were you, sure he was rich and famous but so were you, sure he was skilled and connected and well regarded in his career, but so. were. you. you didn't want anything from him, and it made him infatuated with you. eventually, he wears you down. or rather, you ended up spending a lot more time around him due to your social circle and realized that the man under the barbed wire tongue was someone you quite liked - a lot. he changes for you, at least a little, and the two of you fall madly in love. your relationship is a roller coaster of emotions, all fire and ice due to both of your strong personalities. one minute you're arguing because you want to go somewhere cold for vacation and he wants to go somewhere warm, the next the two of you are getting papped making out at your favorite brunch spot. you break up and make up like it's completely normal and despite all of that, you don't think you've ever been happier. until one day your world comes crashing down and you break up again - for good, according to you. you have a little secret of your own, and you know you can't let sukuna back in. too bad he's stubborn, but so are you and this time, you're determined to cut him out forever.

wasting all our time, to think we could be casual - suguru geto x !model/fashion darling reader

you and suguru geto have known each other for so long that it almost feels ridiculous to think there was ever a time you didn't know each other. you weren't always friends with benefits either, no, your relationship was built on the foundation of a strong friendship. you two hooking up had started as an accident. you were the last one to leave a party at his house one night and he was standing a little too close to you. you suddenly realized just how good he smelled, and he couldn't stop wondering what the lip gloss you'd just applied to your lips tasted like. before you know it, the two of you are hooking up regularly. but you're just friends, you both insist. rumors fly because you two are always all over each other's social's, clearly close and clearly spending a lot of time together. but that's just what friends do. you two have even talked about it. neither of you are looking to settle down right now, far too busy with your careers to maintain a serious relationship. he's on the road for games all the time and you're always jetting in and out for various shoots and events. you spend a lot of time together when you can, you still hook up a lot, but you're just friends. it's why you're each okay with the fact that the other also dates around and hooks up with other people too. completely fine with it. there's not a single ounce of jealousy between you. he doesn't slip his arm around your waist and pull you close when he notices someone chatting you up. you don't press kisses to his cheek with lipstick freshly applied to your lips when another girl is batting her eyelashes at him while she laughs too loudly at something he said. nope. you two are just friends, free to do what you want and you're both truly, absolutely, fine with it.

so tired of eating all my misspoken words - toji zenin x reality tv star turned mainstream actress!reader

you and toji zenin hate each other. in fact, if anyone asked you, hate is putting it mildly. he's so smug and cocky and walks around like he's god's gift to the earth, and the worst part is so many people agree. you wouldn't spend so much time around him, except you unfortunately share many of the same friends and your little sister nobara is best friends with his son megumi. toji, on the other hand, doesn't quite understand why you don't like him and "you just rub me the wrong way" is an unacceptable answer in his mind. but instead of trying to sway you to change your opinion of him, he actively goes out of his way to irritate you - two can play that game. one night while you lay around on your couch, exhausted after a long day of filming but unable to get your brain to settle you receive a message from an unknown number. you had just changed your number so it wasn't entirely surprising when someone texted you looking for someone else. but for reasons you couldn't explain, instead of just deleting the convo and moving on with your night, you and the stranger kept up a convo. it starts off hot and steamy (it had definitely been a booty call first message) and before you know it, you and this person have formed some sort of friendship. you'd never admit it, but you find the idea of steamy texts with a total stranger to be far too enticing, and beyond that, the two of you start opening up to each other more and more. you two agree to keep your identities from each other (once completely establishing you're both adults) because, well, he also thinks it's pretty fucking hot. would you both feel the same way if you found out the person you've been texting is the person you hate the most?

break my heart and i swear i'm moving on to your favorite athlete - takuma ino x !leader singer/guitarist in a band reader

you've had it. you swore you'd never let another man make a fool of you and yet here you are, face plastered on all the gossip accounts when it comes out that your now ex-boyfriend (a mega famous actor) broke up with you because he didn't like how much attention you were getting in the media. you're not going to just let it slide and quietly move on like you always do, not this time. instead, you reach out to his favorite athlete takuma ino and start to cozy up to him. takuma who, when you were both nine years old, was your first kiss behind the slide at the neighborhood playground. takuma who you've known since you were kids but you two haven't been particularly close in years, not since he decided in high school he had to move on from his massive crush on you because it was never going to happen and the only way he could do so was by being around you less. it's not a secret what you're doing, not between you and takuma. he knows your ex is a big fan of his and he knows you're trying to win the breakup by "moving on" with him. he's fine with that, because he's also trying to win a breakup of his own. what better way to get one up on an ex who said you'd never do any better than them by "dating" someone from one of the most well known bands in the world? the two of you are just trying to make your exes jealous because isn't that what old friends are for? you have to admit, it's nice spending more time with takuma again, getting to know the adult him better. but you're not crushing on him, that would be ridiculous. and he's definitely not crushing on you either, nope. and if either of your exes were to work their way back into your lives? neither of you would care. that's what you both say, at least.

HELLO I AM HERE TO ASK ABOUT TREYMARR!!

Tell me your thoughts about their first pro bowl together back in Jan 23. It was right after they lost the AFC championship that year and everyone was so sad because we were a play away from making it back to the super bowl :( but it was the first pro bowl both of them attended (i think at least in trey's case) and it was in vegas and i'm sure they were both looking to forget and have a good time 😏 (please tell me more of your thoughts on the chain picture!! if i recall correctly trey did post it first, and then ja'marr reposted it in his story!)

TREYMARR!!!!! so so passionate about treymarr aughggghghuh thank you carmen for asking 🫶🫶

so you're saying their first pro bowl they attended together literally being each of their firsts ok. and it was after losing the afc championship therefore not making the super bowl. ok. so they were probably shaking off residual grief from losing but finding joy in being there together. ok. ok.

i want to expand on what i think of their dynamics first!!

i think it's primarily trey courting the absolute ever living shit out of ja’marr who is. unknowing of all this. and also terribly easily flustered by literally any thing trey does.

note that trey is soooo very sweet, mindful of boundaries, but also just the absolute ass. incapable of not teasing ja’marr. thinks ja’marr is cute as hell when he's all flushed and fired up and indignant and cursing at trey for messing with him. a bit of kindergarten pigtail pulling but of the emotionally mature variety if you will.

trey making ja’marr feel like a stupid kid with a crush again 😔 never been pursued like this (not that he knows he's actually being pursued) so he's just floundering around trying to figure out how the hell to handle all of trey hendrickson up in his space. the trey hendrickson who he's watched slip past tackles to bring down qbs with an ease that makes his mouth go dry btw. while trey is just constantly enamored by ja’marr's insane talent and also sheer inability to be chill about anything (cuteee as hell) therefore an easy target for him to needle on. which he does so with joy. just the idea of each of them sitting on the sidelines taking turns watching the other in the best possible seats and just going damn. nice.

and basically it's just trey being pushy and overly-familiar not in a way that's annoying or self entitled but more so in a way that’s like genuinely adoring ja’marr to bits that ja’marr just gets incredibly flustered instead of annoyed beyond belief?? both fucked from the get go basically.

okay so i looked up the first pro bowl pics to see if there's a pic of them side by side or even the uno chain and there isn't. whyyy do bengals never up their entire photos to their website. BUT ->

there are several pics of trey flexing OBNOXIOUSLY (so so attractively sorry i am really honestly just so predictable) and i have no idea how the pro bowl works if ja’marr and the rest of the non competing players watch others games or if they do their own games simultaneously (but that's stef behind trey no?) but if ja'marr were watching though!!

imagine trey flexing his shit and all the other players helpfully point out where ja’marr is so he can call on him and do the most jock boyfriend shit ever (point and flex and idk say this is for u babe lmao nah its probably just jeering on ja'marr to do as good as him or something incredibly annoying guaranteed to make ja’marr laugh and fume) while ja’marr surrounded by the rest of the receivers tries not to trip over thin air out of embarrassment and just the slightest bit really its nothing at all attraction. for trey fucking hendrickson. (known chronic DE-flirter-at-the-shittiest-times joe burrow felt the disturbance in the force and is crying laughing at him from wherever he was during that pro bowl day.)

ja’marr getting flustereddddd as hell and turning around to angrily unlock his phone and furiously text tb and tee how fucking annoying trey was being 😭😭 (tee and tb who were watching!!! with tee getting to be the prettiest wag getting thrown ja'marr's td ball!! did they go on for drinks after all together and they teased ja'marr over everything ehehehe)

just trey carrying his shit (technically during the 2nd one together no idea of the 1st but im assuming he did lmao) and flirting relentlessly and tucking ja’marr to his side oh my goodness…..oh my goodness y'all……..this is an actual pic that exists……….did trey drag ja'marr to his side first (overly familiar! but not annoying about it!!) and ja'marr automatically slung an arm around his waist and they just stayed that way wrapped around each other talking about whatever the fuck in the back of the afc huddle ouguhuhughugh what is the matter with them. or did ja'marr attach himself to trey first to try to get one up on him but got into a 'bit off more than he can chew' situation because trey instantly cradled him right back and won't let got for shit so now they're just stuck there unwilling to let go of each other first and growing more comfortable until they forgot what they were doing in the first place. crazy.

also sooo hilarious to think of everyone else squinting at these two (trey putting on ja’marrs CHAIN 😭) and coming to the stupid realization of ohhh they’re fucking! good for them!! good for them!!! stef nodding as ja’marr hands his shit to trey to carry like ‘that’s some good shit. get yourself a man who treats you like a princess the way you deserve.’ (sorry for the stray on stef like. he'd be the nearest one in the vicinity who would Get It you know like. back then 😭)

and i've mentioned in the tags of your compilation post about the uno chain!! howwww did he end up with it!!! was it like. him asking for it all of the sudden (???? why would he do that) and ja'marr was instantly flustered (i keep saying this sorry but) like why would you ask for that and took it off to give it to him on autopilot and trey instantly put it on and took a pic with it jesus okay. crazy if ja'marr took the pic for him or!! or ja'marr immediately ran away from sheer embarrassment to bother the rest of the players (who were all kind of incredibly doting on him as far as i saw lmao literal belle of the balllll) and trey was just completely and utterly pleased at wearing the chain (look!! at his face!!!! in the pic!!!! and the way he held it up and all grahhh adorable he's like incredibly handsome to me guys i can't help it) and trey asked their photographer to take a pic of him so proudly and tagged ja'marr and he REPOSTED it 💔💔 love that shit to bits

OR there's also another possibility that ja'marr asked for him to hold on to it for whatever reason (his turn playing and he couldn't wear the chain? idk) and he was all sure no problem id love to hold things for you and hold your hands and open doors for you and take care of you etc etc god get you a husband like trey hendrickson. big and bold and 100% willing to get bossed around. which ja'marr loves to do lol.

also the 2024 mic'ed up is so crazy to me bc you can clearly see trey's kindergarter playground ass flirting 😭 ripping away ja'marr's gloves mid talk with stef why the fuck is he always taking ja'marr's shit 😭 and ja'marr didn't do shit about it!!! he just went on talking to stef!!!! and the way the sour skittles thing got captured on camera and ja'marr was all 'he was trying to bully me. appreciate you guys having my back.' whatttt in the world was that. you two are not real people.

ja’marr said him and trey are always talking (casual and trash talks ofc) 🥰 probable exaggeration of course this is ja’marr getting cornered in an interview talking about a thing (his friendship with trey) unexpectedly so his mouth probably ran faster than his brain processed shit as he usually does but! totally believe they do talk and 80% of the time its pure unfiltered teasing from trey while ja’marr either fights back in the most zero effort possible way or ja’marr tries taking his own turn teasing trey only to fall short because treys all ‘🥰 hehe’ and that leads to ja’marr back to the baseline of flustered as all hell. (this is all sooo very self indulgent but! i love this deeply)

i have no idea if they were close because of the pro bowl or got close since before they went to it together. such a lovely thing to think of though of them getting closer because they're bengals rep 2 years in a row and the entire thing drove them closer <3 pro bowl couple <33

left is the closest one to a pic of them together for the 2023 pro bowl but there are pics of them on the 2024 pro bowl!!

there's so much more cute pics of ja'marr catching balls like a ballerina and trey flexing like nobodys business and there's justin and ja'marr and stef taking a pic of the afc receivers and so many more grahh adorable. the 2024 one also has sooo many good pics of ja'marr smiling so prettily and yapping at literally every player on that field. a pic of him and cj that i will always hold dear for the exact reason any of you are thinking lol.

also I'm too lazy to link it but if you look up the 2024 pro bowl mic'ed up moment you can see these two interacting with jessie bates iii and it's the cutest shitttt everrrrr. jessie couldn't stop ja'marr from making a tuddy and ja'marr was all 'i knew you were going to do that' bratty ass little brother that he is and then they were in a huddle together for some reason and trey was all 'all these years and he still couldn't stop you' or something like that and jessie said he was going to tackle ja'marr's ass after this and ja'marr was all 'that's crazy jess!' it was sooo cute to me 😭 this doesn't make as much sense to read wow but if any of you haven't seen it it's definitely worth a watch!!

I agree, if Charles went to RBR it would actually be the best, PR-wise, for RB and him.

If anyone starts talking about Charles betraying Ferrari? The absolute shade Christian would throw out into the media about how Ferrari didn't treat him right.

People hating on him once he starts winning? Red Bull would bask in the media attention for being the villain team and having two drivers destroy the competition. They would post videos of getting booed and see it as a sign of superiority. You're right, they would definitely eat that shit up and throw it in everyone's faces.

And Charles in Ferrari media always gives PR-media-trained-perfect-angel-boy, but we all know Charles is actually unhinged and insane and can be snarky as hell. RB would allow him to not be a robotic PR boy for once in his life.

Honestly, it would be best for everyone, and most importantly, entertaining for us.

you know, i actually am not sure how demonic charles would be on main about it all. on one hand, yes, ferrari absolutely has a hand in how buttoned up his media persona is — but, he's been with them for so long (is ferrari the team that sent him to media training with sky? or was that earlier?) that it's definitely influenced his natural approach, i think. careful and deliberate is ingrained in him.

don't get me wrong: he has his moments. he's not afraid to get a little sassy, he will toss shade, but significantly less than other drivers (and half the time he gets kidnapped by silvia and returns suddenly happy with ferrari again). i can see the sudden shift in pr management from transitioning from ferrari to rbr going two ways.

first, charles doesn't really shift much. his personal brand is very polished and serene. it may have originated with ferrari, but it's part of the image that he has also helped to craft for himself. he may just me more relaxed and freer with his cheeky commentary, less likely to get scolded behind closed doors (but everyone knows so it may as well be in the paddock), generally be a slightly spicier form of charles... but he'd still be gentle about it. playful about it. not abandon his main persona very much, because a) i think a lot of it is genuine but b) a switch up would make it look not genuine. so non-robotic but not the fullblown rbr villainy that would entertain me greatly.

or: rbr as a brand encourages it. they will tell him he can do it, likely (within reason/without it blowing back on the team, naturally). they may even craft scenarios where he can be "real" on main. red bull gives you wings, after all, and charles' have been clipped for years. and charles, if he moves to rbr, knows what he is signing up for. if he wants to cohesively integrate into the rbr image and marketing (which he would want/need to) he would need to embrace a shift in his pr approach. that's something he would need to be committed to in advance. he might full-send it, or at least send it harder than expected. it might be part of the new marketing angle he's taking.

a combination thereof may be closer to the how the brand book would be put together. a happy middle ground, maybe. if you think about it, charles' shift in messaging supports it, too: "i don't care for pole, i want to win" "max may have the best car but that doesnt excuse his talent. the driver winning is still extremely talented even with the best car, btw. (pls remember that when i have the best car and suddenly am winning again)". it's little but it's noticeable; he's repeated it a lot.
